902 Words
A man was having a meeting with his staff when James barged in.
"Get out" he ordered all the staff to leave and they scurried away,
"What is the meaning of this" Malachi asked, he hadn't expected to see James in his office.
"You know why I am here" James voice resonated,
"I don't understand what you mean" Malachi asked, he was furious that James had interrupted his meeting,
"I am being patient with you Malachi" James said,
"I don't have anything to do with you" Malachi challenged him.
A swift kick landed on Malachi's face with James hands still in his pocket.
A tooth fell off and he was petrified looking at James,
"Have you completed your p*****t" James held him,
"I have being paying it" Malachi tried to fight him,
"So now you would lie to me" James asked,
"No, I am not.
I paid it to Mr Edward" Malachi replied,
"You did what" James needed clarifications of what he just heard,
"He asked me to make all payments to him" Malachi held his mouth that was bleeding.
The King's Investments was one of the major bank investment sector in Barcelona that gave off loans to smaller companies.
Malachi's company was one of the companies that received loan from the Kings investment which belong to the Lucious family.
Small companies would take loan from them and would work directly under them and Malachi had gotten the highest loan of 6,000,000,000.
"Don't beat up the man" Edward cold voice said walking through the door.
He had just arrived.
"Why did you take the money" James asked after seeing his full figure,
"I managed the company for many years, do you think their loyalty would just switch to you simply because you took over the company" Edward relaxed on a chair.
"It is no longer your company Edward" James sneered,
he had taken over the company and was managing it well just to notice that they were those who were lagging in their p*****t for years.
"It seems you are forgetting how to address me James" Edward frowned at him,
"You are not a part of our family, Father had disowned you" James replied.
He had lost every ounce of respect for him after he had banished him.
Edward laughed.
"Leave" Edward ordered Malachi who was watching the drama,
"Stay" James commanded,
"Leave"
"Stay"
Malachi was confused on who to obey, he knew exactly how they were if anyone dare to cross their path,
"Leave" Edward roared and he took to his heels.
"Have a seat James" Edward gestured,
"I want you to return all that you took. You know what, forget about returning it back.
I want you to stop collecting the money, it isn't your company anymore" James said,
"Funny"
"How is that funny" James asked annoyed,
"You just appeared five years ago and you are giving orders to me" Edward replied,
"Why did you do it" James suddenly asked changing the subject of discussion,
"Do what" Edward relaxed his tone,
"Why did you try to kill Mom" James had never understood why he would attack his own family,
"It's none of your business" Edward sternly looked at him,
"And why are you around August" James had to ask about her,
"That's personal" Edward wasn't in the mood to explain anything not related to work,
he had gotten the hint that James was also interested in August and they must have known each other before now.
"Oh now she is personal to you" James was on his verge,
"I don't mix business with my personal life" Edward remarked,
"What do you want with her, huh, will you use her and dump her like every other girl you have used" James barked,
he didn't want August to be like one of those girls that Edward had used.
"Watch the way you talk to me" Edward warned,
"Or you want to hurt her like how you hurt your own family, try to strangle her to death in her sleep as you did to mum" James continued, he never trusted that August was safe with him.
"James" Edward yelled,
"I will punish you for what you did to Mum" James stated,
"I haven't even started" Edward replied with a smirk,
he loved to make his little brother panic on finding out what he was plotting against them.
"You will never lay your hands on them again" James defended,
"You are just a pauper who knows nothing but to give empty threats.
I look forward to crushing you" Edward threatened,
They were raging with anger as they stared at each other.
Edward had triggered James in everyway and it was only a matter of time before James retaliated.
"I am watching you" James stood up and walked away,
"Don't you dare walk away from me" Edward pursued him.
A strong force pushed them against the wall, the office they had just left exploded.
James was flown against the wall of which he hit his head and was bleeding, Edward stomach was pierced by an steel.
"Call 911" A lady screamed while the rest of the workers were running for their lives.
In no time they was a commotion everywhere and two people were confirmed dead due to the blast.
No one knew how the bomb was planted but everyone knew that they were the target.
The ambulance arrived and rushed them to the hospital.
